You can still use flash but you need to change the angle of the racket to reduce the glare or reflection that comes off the racket. You can use the camera without flash as well assuming you use a tripod to do this (with camera timer). In both cases you can use the micro mode.

Lol!! I blame Smichz for that because he used "micro" and I just copied the word off there haha!

Yes "macro".

Just a lil more advice,try to take the pics of ur rackets with no flash light,and do it in a bright place,such as outdoor.Turn on the micro mode or the flower sign.Take pics of it until u get the best result.That way,it'll be more clearer n it'll be easier for us to help u.

As u can see in the first link,the grommets between the fake/clone with the genuine one r different.The "long" grommet cannot be attained other than to import it straight from japan.Most fakers won't do that.Secondly,the at titanium stripes on the 9-3o'clock,as in power armor system..most fakes will only look like the first one.Since most of the fakers won't have the same material as what they have in japan's yonex factory.

I'd love to,but too bad i couldn't be there,since i'm already back in china.Hopefully i can play together with u all next year,n of course,in a better form of play.

The first picture is my friend at900t, his nick is @armortec and i just get the same racket code yesterday from same source. @sifu just want to check the originality 'bout this racket 'cause he's very concern bout the genuine or fake issue especially this code is IP. The picture is taken by @armortec from my thread in KK forum.
Sigh......now i must train harder, to challenge you maybe one year is not enough to improve my ability But i'll try........

It has golden Yonex sticker and looks original same like mine AT900T SP code, only different weight. My AT900T is 3Ug4 and the weight (empty) is 87 gram, this one is 3Ug5 and the weight (empty also) is 90-91 gram and that's quite bothering me 90-95gram is 2U right? Stiff and head heavy feel is just same like mine.
This racket is bought by my friend and he is already compare this to my racket and all detail is exactly same. The Yonex hologram, cosmetic, green color on the bottom YY logo. The different is only ( PBSI missing symbol not count ) about the strange hole and 2 spot on YY symbol, my at of course didnt have hole like that and i buy at my best friend store who i believed 100% never sell fake to me.
If this racket is fake then the maker is absolutely have great job since i cant find any difference more than 2 point above.
Hole & weight matter answer is really help for me, Thx for any help

I read somewhere that a yonex badminton racquet with a hole on the yy logo means that that particular racquet was circulated only for top class players (Lin Dan, Peter Gade etc.) and not in the general public.
You can also send the codes of that particular racquet to Yonex Japan and find out its particulars.

U seek for "performance" or "treat better" of urself,for collection,or even earn more "respect"..u buy IP,JP,CP,etc..U prefer more safety,those who has the warranty,if u're in indonesia,u buy SP.U can't buy JP,CP,IP or any other outer version n expect them to give u warranty in the SP's area.In japan,they won't accept warranty from the other version..so does every other country which has their own country code.Besides,some of them like IP,CP,KP,or any national team's racket won't give any warranty at all.U should've understand it before u even buy it.=)
